Time-Series Analysis with Python

Time-Series analysis revolves around getting familiar with a dataset and coming up with ideas and hypotheses. It can be thought of as "storytelling for data scientists" and is a critical step in machine learning, because it can inform and help shape tentative conclusions to test while training a machine learning model. Roughly speaking, the main difference between time-series analysis and machine learning is that time-series analysis does not include formal statistical modeling and inference.

While it can be daunting and seem complex, it is a generally very structured process. In this chapter, we will go through the fundamentals in Python for dealing with time-series patterns. In Python, we can do time-series ...
